Patel plans to keep the creative Tex-Mex menu of the Rehoboth Avenue Dos Locos and open the space up with more seating, including an outdoor patio.

Expect margaritas (yes, they are planning to build a bar), oozy queso blanco, lobster-stuffed potato skins and a myriad of fajitas at the Plaza Route 24 shopping center by mid-March.

The restaurant is on Route 24 right off of Coastal Highway — an ideal location, Patel said. He wanted to give his customers a sister restaurant without making them trudge all the way downtown, especially during the summer. An added bonus: Free parking.

Patel is set to finalize the 25-year lease by the end of the week, and begin renovations as early as Jan. 12.
